  CONCATENATE 'WALM' sy-datum sy-uzeit '.txt' INTO p_pfile.


 CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      logical_filename = p_phfile
      operating_system = sy-opsys
      parameter_1      = p_ctry
      parameter_2      = p_intf
      parameter_3      = p_pfile
    IMPORTING
      file_name        = p_fname
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_not_found   = 1
      OTHERS           = 2.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    p_flag = sy-subrc.
  ENDIF.

Hi Pawan,

you can use as below:

DATA: gv_physicalpath TYPE path-pathextern.

CONSTANTS: gc_logicalpath TYPE filepath-pathintern
                         VALUE 'MMIM_PHYSICAL_INVENTORY_DOCUMENTS'.


* Get corresponding physical path for the logical path
  PERFORM get_physical_path USING gc_logicalpath
                         CHANGING gv_physicalpath.

FORM get_physical_path  USING    p_gc_logicalpath
                        CHANGING p_gv_physicalpath.

  CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      logical_filename = p_gc_logicalpath
      operating_system = sy-opsys
    IMPORTING
      file_name        = p_gv_physicalpath
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_not_found   = 1
      OTHERS           = 2.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.

ENDFORM.                    " get_physical_path
